LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury. CODRINGTON Y. CODRINOTON AND ANDERSON. This case was resumed this morning. It will be remem bered that on Saturday the case for the respondent closed, after which, the Queen's Advocate summed up the evidence for the respondent, and Mr Price, Q.C., addressed the jury on behalf of Colonel Anderson, the co-respondent. Mr Bovill, Q C., this morning addressed the jury on the whole case. He said that four months bad elapsed since this painful investigation commenced, and he congratulated them that they were all well and able to give their best atten tion to the case, and on the approaching termination of their labours. No one could regret that much time had been devoted to the case, for every particle of evidence had now been sifted, end had received every possible attention. It would have been sad indeed if every opportunity had not been given for thoroughly siting every piece of evidence that could by any possibility have been adduced far the defence. He thought it would be shown by an analysis of the evidence that it must lead irresistibly to one conclusion on the part of the jury, namely, that Admiral Codrington had completely proved his case, He regretted that the Queen's Advocate should have considered it necessary to attack the character of every witness who had been called for the petitioner. If cases of this kind could only bo supported by such attacks of private character, he scarcely knew where evidence was to be obtained, With regard to Mrs Watson, he contended that the allegations made against her by the Queen's Advocate were entirely without foundation. She was in no senso the concoctor of charges against Mrs Codrington. She said nothing about Col. Anderson, and it was not until after the petition had been filed that the name of Lieut. Mildmay came upon the scene. When information of Mrs Codrington's misconduct with Lieutenant Mildway came to light an application was made to make him a co-respondent, but it was opposed by the Q reen's Advocate, and the matter was not further pressed, He urged the impossibility of the charge that Admiral Codrington attempted to take possession of the person of Miss Faithfull, after the lapse of seven years, and came to the conclusion that it was a mistake on the part of Mr Few, who thought he was authorised by Miss Faitbfull to put that allegation on the record. Miss Faithfull had stated that she knew scarcely anything of the matter, that all she knew of it was that Mrs Codrington had told her so, and that she supposed she was only to confirm the fact that Mrs Codrington had told her so, It was wonderful that Mr Few, as a sensible man, could have believed such a story, while nu one complained of it until the commencement of these proceedings. The whole story was a concoction of Mrs Codrington's, and Miss Faith full had shown there was no foundation, and that she had unwisely placed reliance in Mrs Codrington's representa tions. (The learned counsel read several letters which passed between the various parties, contending tha was impossible that two ladies could have written such letters after so gross an outrage had been committed.) He thought, therefore, they might dismiss Miss Faithful] and that part of the charge. In 1858 the Admiral and Mrs Codrington proceeded to Malta, and evidence had been adduced that Admiral Codrington treated his wife in the kindest possible manner, as had been proved by Dr. Peck thorns, the medical officer there, Emily Miller, who was 10 years in the service of the Codringtons as nurse, and many other witnesses. But what was the course of life Mrs Codrington pursued ? The admiral held a high official position, and being obliged to rise early in the morning he was anxious to go home early at night. When they went to the opera, dinner parties, and similar places, they went home together ; but when she wont to balls the admiral could never get her away, and was obliged to leave without her. Dr. Pickthorne and others remonstrated with her on the subject on family considerations, and on the score of her health, but all remonstrances were unavailing. And what was the state of the admiral's household ? In the morning he collected his household together, and where was Mrs. Codrington ? In bed, Never at family prayers, and systematically attending to her duties. For her own self-indulgence she neglected her family by staying out to three or four o'clock in the morning, with whom would be shown in the sequel. If she did not come home with the admiral with whom did she come ? Why, with Col. Ander. son and Lieut. Mildmay. Whenever she went home with either of these gentlemen the gondola got out of trim, but the waterman declared that the boat never got out of trim except when Mrs Codrington was accompanied by one or other of those gentlemen. The gondola was a large heavy boat, rowed by four men, and not a little craft that would eoon be put out of trim. The witness Duck had been sneered at, but he held a respectable position as butler to a banker, and resided in the banking-house, a position which he could not be likely to obtain without a very high character. Besides this, witness after witness spoke to the same facts, and it was absurd to suppose that they were all to be disbelieved, On arriving at home Lieut. Mildmay would go in the house, stay an hour or two, and sometimes the ser vants never saw him go out at all. Therefore they formed a pretty clear idea of what Mrs Codrinzton's habits wore. The first charge of adultery in the order of time was with Lieut. Mildmay, and it would have been supposed that if these statements were untrue, or were to be explained, Lieut. Mildrnay would have appeared before the com mitsron to which he was invited. Why was he not here under the peremptory orders of the Horse Guards to clear Mrs Codrington. Ho could not believe that Lieutenant Mildmay, unless he were lost to all sense of honour, could not have come at all hazards, if he were innocent, to vindi cate the character of Mrs Codrington and his own. Ad- verting to Mrs Watson's evidence, he remarked upon the portion of it in which she spoke of the unfortunate at. tachment Mrs Codrington had formed for Lieutenan Mildmay, and her effurto to bring her to a better mind. Foul charges had been made by Mrs Codrington against Mrs Watson that shehad passed whole days with the admiral, although the queen's Advocate had since stated that it was never intended to impute immorality to Mrs Watson, but the statement had been placed up on recor d, an d what inference were the jury to draw from such an allegation. The faot of such an allegation being placed upon the record could only bear one interpretation, and he had felt bound, painful as the trial had been, to place Mrs Watson in the witness-box, in order that she might solemnly deny so gross a charge. The statement that Admiral Codrington was unduly familiar with Mrs Watson was as untrue as that he had attempted the virtue of Miss Faithfull. Something had been said of the manner of Mrs Watson in the witness-box, but the jury would not be surprised at some indignation being exhibited by a lady against whom so foul an insinuation had been Launched. He justified Mrs Watson's evidence, contending that Mrs Watson never expressed her own opinion that Mrs Codiington was more suffering than sinning, but merely said that Mrs Smith, Mrs Codrington's mother, would find it some solsce to her in her closing moment, to believe that her erring daughter was more suffering than sinning. Mrs Watson thruughout seemed to have acted with the most Christian kindness towards Mrs Codrington in con cealing her folly, her frailties, and her wickedness, and it was Mrs Codrington who had turned round to inflict a sting in the most vital part of a woman's character.

On approaching the spot he found a man burned to death under the charred fragments of a heavy waggon. Of the four horses, three were dead and roasted, the fourth, all but unscathed, standing quietly by. It would seem that the deceased man had been driving a load of hay along the highway at night. Coming near the spot where his master's fields commence, a horse, or some of the horses, getting restive, wanted to leave the road and take their accustomed way across the ccuntry. Before he could prevent them they had dragged the waggon into the ditch, overturned it, and buried the man, who must have been walking at his side, under the hay. One of his legs and arms were broken, the lantern he carried in his hand smashed, and the hay set on fire. There he lay, unable to crawl from underneath the oppressive weight, and was slowly roasted.

Mrs Sophia Leander, a married lady, the proprietress of the Asylum for Lunatics, Turnham-green, surrendered pursuant to notice from the Lunatic Commissioners, she having been convicted under the Lunatic Protection Act of keeping a house for the reception of lunatics, not being duly licensed by law. At the trial the defendant was discharged on entering into her recognisaeces and bail to appear when called on for judgment, on the understanding that she give up the establishment, and would not receive any person of unsound mind. The defendant not hiving complied with the undertaking the Commissioners of Lunacy gave her notice that an Inspector of Lunacy would visit her esta b!ishmeut to see if ilhe had any persons under her care of unsound mind, and on o,Aobet 19 they made such visit and found persons inmates of her house, some of weak intellect, and three others who decidedly, in their judgment, came within the category of persons of unsound mind, upon which notice was given to her to surrender. Mr G:ffird, on the part of the prosecutor, read several affidavits, setting out the report of the Inspector of Lunacy, and the corropondence that had taken place between the defendant and the Commissioners, from which it appeared that the defendant was acting under the belief that she was not evading the law in receiving women of weak intellect only at her establishment. _ _ _ The defendant, in reply to several questions put by the judge, and his adm on i sh i ng her s h e mus t nc t di so b ey th e law, insisted that sh e acted in str i c t con f orm ity w ith th e law, and was protected by Act 3f Parliament, as she did not keep the inmates for profit. Mr Baron Bramwell said he would not pronounce any sentence then, but he warned and urged her to take his advice and comply strictly with the regulations of the Com miaioners in Lunacy, who were a much more competent authorb y than she was to determine whether she was dis obeying the law. She had been guilty of disobeying it, and he warned her if it was found necessary to call her up again she would be severely punished. The defendant was then discharged on her own recog . nisances, THE CHARGE OF ILLEGALLY CONFINING A WIFE AT PECKHAM, Edward Hammond, Emily Wakeman, and Elizabeth Allen, the two latter female servants in Hammond's ser vice, surrendered to answer an indictment charging them with unlawfully assaulting and confining in a room Eliza beth Hammond, the wife of the male defendant. There were several other indictments for continuous assaults. Before the defendants pleaded, Mr Sergeant Ballantine said he appeared for the defen dant Hammond, and on looking at the depositions he felt bound to say that he could not consistently struggle against the charge, and the defendant, therefore, under his advice would plead guilty. Mr Huddlestene, who appeared for the prosecution, said he should not object to the course proposed. The defendant Hammond then pleaded guilty. The two other cefendants, Wakeman and Allen, pleaded not guilty to all the indictments. Mr Huddlestone said, on the part of the prosecution he did not propose to offer any evidence against the female defendants. The jury then, under the direction of the learned judge, returned a verdict of not guilty, The female defendants were then discharged, Mr Sergeant Ballentine asked the learned judge to post pone passing sentence until next Scssion, in order that time might be given for the preparation of cer`ain affidavits in mitigation. Mr Baron Bramwell said he knew nothing of the case or of the defendant, but he could not deny that he had read something of the case in newspapers. He would look over the depositions and say to - morrow whether judgment should be respited to the January Sessions, when he would be in Court. The defendant in the meantime could be admitted to bail. The same bail that was taken by the magistrates was then accepted for the defendant Hammond's arpearance to-morrow. WOUNDING WITH INTENT TO MURDER. John Howard, a prisoner in the Middlesex House of Correction, was indicted for assaulting, with intent to murder, Henry Green, a warder in the prison. Henry Green, said the prisoner was in the tailor's shop of the prison, and being occupied in cutting he asked for a knife, which was at once given him. He (witness) then turned round to go away, when the prisoner sprang upon him and inflicted a wound on the back part of the neck. A brother warder came to his assistance, the knife was taken from the prisoner, and he was secured. The surgeon said the wound, although not of a serious nature, was in a very dangerous part. The jury found the prisoner guilty of assaulting, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The pros; cutor at this moment was passing over the dock, when the prisoner in the most violent manner thrn.fpned anotattemptoa t. .trigs him. IV:r Baron Bramwell told the prisoner he was a perfect stranger to him, and all ho had to do was to administer the law. Ha would, however, before doing so, offer a few words of advice to him ; but from what he had just seen in the dock he was afraid that the day would come when he would stand in the same position on a charge of murder, and that he would end his career on the public scaffold. Prisoner—l will if I get a chance at him (pointing to Green.) Mr Baron Bramwell—Very well, then. I will do what:l can to prevent it. I therefore sentence you to 20 years penal servitude. Prisoner (who on leaving the dock behaved in the mos violent manner)--IL's no more than I expected. ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCB , Michael Cocklin and Thomas Linscott were indicted for robbing Thomas Hind Varney of his watch and chain. The evidence showed that the robbery was a most daring one, the prosecutor having been to a certain extent garroted near to Southwark-bridge -road. The jury acquitted Linscott and found Conklin guilty. Six previous convictions having been proved against The learned judge sentenced him to 10 years' penal ser vitude. The prisoner seemed astonished at the sentence. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) EUBEZZLEmEN T. John Tawn was indicted for embezzling various sums o money, mho property of his employer, Mexinder Gordon. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. PORGERY.

The Common Sergeant sentenced him to one years' imprisonment, FOU RTH COURT. (Before the Recorder.) FELONIOUSLY 'WOUNDING. George White was indictod for feloniously wounding George Peers, with intent to resist his lawful apprehen sion. He was also indicted fur stealing a pair of trousers the property of Frederick Moses, he having been previously convicted. The jury found him guil ty. The Recorder, in passin g sentence, said the prisoner seemed to have mad e Up his dis honesty. As he had alr ea d y suffered three terms of inipri. sonment, for throe, six, and mind to pursue a course of nine months, he was prevented from passing any but a very severe punishment. He then sentenced the prisoner to be kept to penal servitude for seven years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr Justice By les,) Charles Eaton de Witt, merchant, and Duncan M'Lean c a t Wright were hid cted for conspi r i ng together and by false pretences obtaining from Isl!lch or Lopcz divers dock war u rants and orders for the delivery of Wine, the property of Manuel Garcia Rubet and anothe r, of the value of £4,722, with intent to defraud.

Fisher, at Orpington, on Saturday night last. It ap peered from the evidence taken that the prisoners and the deceased loft the Artichoke public-house, at Orpington, a few minutes after 12 on Saturday night, and when outside the house the deceased was heard by Jones, a constable of the It Division of Metropolitan Police, to remark to thy prisoners that he had been ergaged on the line of railway near that neighbourhood fifteen years ago. This led to an angry feeling, the prison er Turner denouncing the and s d tr c'ea ike s l' d ur a n s e a r, li p a u r' shed deceased, who had threatened to the violently. The constable and another officer who came up durin g t he altercation then ad ad- vised the deceased, who lived at Bromley, to go home, and he proceeded to do so, at the same time bidding the con stables "Good night." The prisoners, who stayed behind some time, were afterwards observed to start off hurriedly in the direction the deceased had taken. Both officers fol lowed, and when some distan ce off t hey heard some one calling out "Get up, you and on proceeding about 100 yards further on they found that Turner was holding the deceased by the neck, while Staples had hold of his legs. In answer to the constables, Turner, making use of a coarse expression, said the deceased had fallen down, and they wore picking him up. The deceased was then in sensible, and his face covered with blood. The prisoners were at once secured, and on Mr Fulcher, surgeon, of Or pington, teing called to the deceased, he found him bleeding from a wound over the left eye (Ole orbit of which was corn• pletoly destroyed), and also from the nose and mouth, the injuries having evidently been inflicted by violent kicks. The deceased remained insensible up to the time of his death, which took place late the previous night. the injury over the eye, in the opinion of the medical man, being suffi cient to account for death. The prisoners were remanded pending the inquiry before the coroner of the district, POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day, MARLBOROUGLI-STREET. It appeared from the evidence that Mr East is a specula tor upon the turf, and that defendant called upon Mr East and represented himself to be a Mr Johnson, a person to whom Mr East owed Li for a bet upon a horse called the Tartar, for the Liverpool Cup, obtained the money, and so defrauded Mr East, the fraud being discovered upon the real Mr Johnson calling for his money. The practice having been carried on to some extent, and Mr East being deter mined to check it, took the present proceedings against the defend Ant. In answer to the charge, the defendant said he made the bet himself, for which he received the money, but this was denied both by Mr East and his clerk. Mr Tyrwhitt committed the defendant for trial. THAMES. SHOPLIFTING.—Mary Ann Williams, who said she was 19 years of age, and looked much older, calling herself a hawker of fruit, and John Sullivan, 33, were brought before Mr Paget, charged with stealing a coat from an out fitter's shop. Richard Barker, foreman cutter to Mr Thomas Bell, outfitter, of No. 7, Portland-place, Commercial-road, said the prisoners came into his master's shop last night, and directly they entered it he suspected they were shoplifters, and determined onwatching them. The mile prisoner said he wanted to buy a coat. He took down a bundle of coats to show to the prisoners, and soon missed one of them. Ha saw the female prisoner put a coat under her shawl, and he spoke aloud to Mr Brill that a coat was stolen. The woman heard what he said, and she dropped the coat on the floor. Her companion picked it up and put it on the counter. A coat was tried on Sullivan, and he was told the price of it was 28s, which the woman said was too much. They then left the shop. He followed them until he met with a police-constable, and then caused them to be arrested. Only 9s was found on the two, not enough to pay for a new coat. The female prisoner, in a rich Munster brogue, said she alone was guilty, and Misther Sullivan was as innocent as the babe that was never born. It was her first offence, and she hoped it would be her last. She begged for mercy any how. Sullivan—l know nothing about this, yer banner's wort chip, at all. It's quite innocent I am. I was to the fore when she took the coat, but I did not see her, yer banner's wortchip. Shure, now, I am brought like a sheep to the slaughter. A police constable said he believed the prisoners were regular shoplifters. They told a Ist of regular, different, round-about stories—(laughter)—that ho could not make head or tail of. Mr Paget said he should remand the prisoners, and he directed inquiries to be made about them. Inspector Hayes, of the K division, said the prisoners would not give any address. He believed they were man and wife. Mr Paget—Do the best you can with the scanty informa. ion you have• Tho prisoners are remanded for a week. MARKETS—This Day. ➢IIARK-LANE.

EXTRAORDINARY RAILWAY AD VEN TIIRE.—It hes often been said that there is a special providence which takes care of drunken men, and the incident we ap• pend would seem to add weight to the assertion. We yes terday publiehed a telegram received from Liverpool the previous night, to the effect that a man had been thrown out, or had fallen out of the express train which leaves London at 5 o'clock for Liverpool. Immediately the fact was known it was telegraphed to Liverpool, and on the arrival of the train there five men occupying the compartment spoken of were taken into custody. Their names were—James Mur phy, William Reynolds, and Joseph Mantel, seamen be longing to the ship Commodore Perry, the property of Messrs. Baines and Co. ; also another seaman named James Burnes, and a sergeant in the Royal Artillery named James Cowpert hweite, on leave of absence from Sheernes• Cow perthwaite made a statement to the effect that when the ex press loft Loudon there wore in the same compartment of a seeondeclass carriage with himself, the four men mentioned, another man, said to have got oat at Crewe, and Edward Apter, the man whom we supposed to have been killed. This man seemed to be about 21 years of age,end was drunk. Soon after leaving London ho began showing his money, which was in an old-fashioned rod leather purse. Murphy told him not to be a fool, but to put his money back. The man appeared ro be very careless about it, and answered , that it was "all right." They then had some drink, of which Aptor partook. Shortly after this Apter jumped up and said he wanted to got out, as ho was at Euston-square. Murphy took hold of him by the collar and pushed him on to the seat, telling him to sit still. Apter again got up, aad staggered against the door of the carriage, which flew open and he fell out. At this time the train was going at 40 to 50 miles an hour, and it was of course supposed that he was killed. The line was searched from Rugby for a consider able distance. but no trace was found of the missing man. The result of the search was telegraphed to Liverpool, and all the men there in custody were kept under surveillance. Murphy, who appeared to be most intimately associated with the occurrence, began to be very uneasy at his position. The cddest part of the story has yet to come. By the train which arrives in Liverpool at eleven o'clock the missing man presented himself safe and well with scarcely a scratch to show, His account of his extraordinary escape has a very ludicrous aspect. He remembers distinctly having been in the railway carriage, but everything else is a blank until he found himself awaking from a damp sleep in the ditch at the bottom of a high embankment. He supposes that he awoke about ten o'clock, but his sleep must have lasted much longer. He managed to find his way to the next station, and went on to Liverpool at the first oppar amity, OBTAINING GOODS BY MEANS OF FORGED ORDERS. —Edward Williams, described as "a porter, no home," was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with obtaining a quantity of cloth from Mr James Platt, woollen draper, 78, St. Martin's -lane. Brighten Fuller, an assistant to Mr Platt, said that on the 22d of October the prisoner called with an order which he said he had brought from Mr Wolfe, of Old Bond-street, for some clpth and doeskin. As the order purported to be signed by Mr Wolfe, and Mr Wolfe had been a customer, he gave him the goods of the value of £1 18s. Charles Kempton, another assistant of Mr Platt's, said that on the 27th of October the prisoner called and presented an order stating that he had been sent by Mr Wolfe, of Old Bond-street. As the order was signed " J. B. Wolfe,' and Mr 'Wolfe had been a customer, he gave the prisoner the goods of the value of XI 3s. On the 12th of November the prisoner called again, and with a similar order obtained more goods of the value of £ i Gs. Having heard from Mr Wolfe that he had not sent the orders, on the prisoner call ing yesterday evening with another order, which he said he had brought from Mr Wolfe, he was given into custody by Mr Platt. Mr Samuel Benjamin Wolfe, tailor, of No. 45, Old Bond-street, said the orders produced had never been sent by him, and they were forgeries. He had not dealt with Mr Platt fur two years, and knew nothing of the prisoner. Police-constable K elly, 53, said that on asking the pri soner whether he knew anything of the orders, ho replied, "Yes; I wrote them all." The prisoner was committed for trial. DEFRAUDING TURF SPECULATORS.—James Baker, of 40, Windmill-street, Tottenham-court-road, appeared be fore Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a charge of unlawfully obtain ing, by means of false and fraudulent pretences, from I% l r Robert East, of Sloane - street, Knightsbridge, the sum of £4, with intent to cheat and defraud him of the same. City Sewers Commission. eases of a zymotic character—the averages for the corresponding period of the last ten years being 151 from the first named male dies, 56 from the second, and 176 from the third. It would seem, therefore, that the clrcumstances which had augmented the number of deaths from zymotic diseases, and espe cially from infantile diarrheer, had lessened the mortality from tubercular diseases. This might per haps be explained in same measure by the fa6ts re. oorded in the table of the meteorology of the quar ter. The average temperature of the quarter (60.2) had been fully one degree less than usual (61.5) ; and the amount of rain-fall had been only 4.51 in., instead of 6.21. The number of wet days (34) had also been under the average, and therefore the hygrometric condition of the atmosphere had been less than usual. In ordinary season 3 the amount of moisture in the air had been about 76 per cent of saturation, but during the last quarter it was only 69 per cent. A dry and cold summer is therefore - a check on the development of consumptive diseases. the sanitary work of the quarter was shown in the last two tables of the appendix. It would be seen that 1,796 houses had been inspected, and that 826 visits had been made to the common lodging-houses of the City. These had resulted i❑ the issuing of 768 orders for sanitary improvement, of which 642 were for cleansing and lime-whiting the interior of houses. I❑ consequence of the difficulty of effecting the required sanitary improvements of certain houses in the City, it had been found necessary to take legal proceedings against the owners or lessees, and in several instances they had been fined and ordered to pay the costs of the inquiry. The markets and slaughteretiouses had been duly inspected, and the officers had condemned 76,283tb5., or upwards of 34 tons of meat as unfit for human food ; 46,5171b5. were putrid, 22,8371b5. were diseased, and 5,9291b5. • • were from animals that had died from disease. I consisted of 380 sheep, 2). calves, 132 pigs, 375 qrs. of beef, and 1,090 joints of meat, besides 72 geese, 2 deer, and 23 cases of rabbits, HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The rate of mortality in London for the week that ended last Saturday was excessive, and its rise has been rapid. The deaths were 1,742. In the three previous weeks they were successively 1,409, 1,454, and 1,586. The number in the second week of the present month was heavy; but that which is now returned exceeds it by 166. The mean tem perature of the air had been bl deg in October. In the first week in November it fell to 42.4 deg; in the next to 37 . 5 deg, and last week it was 456 deg. The average number of deaths for the 46th week of II years, 1851.63, is, with a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,411. The actual result exceeds the estimated num ber by 331. The deaths of persons under 20 years of age were 877 in the preceding week, and 80 last week ; those of 60 years of age and upwards rose from 280 to 360. Phthisis, bronchitis, and heart disease exhibit a marked increase in last week. To pbthisis were referred 183 deaths, the corrected average being 167 ; to bronchitis 249, the cor rected average being 160 ; and to heart disease 91, against 58. Those from pneumonia (inflammation of the substance of the lungs) were 165 against 118. Bronchitis was by far the most fatal of all diseases on the list. The deaths of eight nonagenarians were returned in the week. The deaths in the Kensington district rose from 87in tho previous week to 115; in Marylehon o they rose from 84 to 96; in Lambeth from 79 to 111 ; in Greenwich from 85 t o 99; in Whitechapal from 52 to 71. In all these districts they were =ltch above the average. Measles was fatal in 63 eases, 7 of which were recorded in the district of Poplar, 6 in the west sub-distriot of Green wich. Scarlatina was fatal in 85 oases, 5 of which were in St. John, Westminster, 5 in Haggerstone East, 4 in St. George, Bloomsbury, There were 10 deaths from typhus in Greenwich district, 3 in Plumstead, 7 in Poplar district. The total number in London was 86. At 19, Buthby-street, Bethnal-green, on the 7th inst., a bricklayer, aged 52, died of consumption accelerated by want. (Inquest.) At 14, Half Nichols-street, Bethnal-green, on the 4th inst., the daughter of a labourer, aged 9 weeks, died from exposure and want of noutishment. (Inquest.)

In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1851-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,906. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.081 in. The reading of tho instrument was 28.61 in on Monday ; and rose ,to 29.72 in on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 45 . 5 deg., which is 2.8 dcg above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Air Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was constantly above the average. On Thursday the highest day tempera tutu was 51.3 deg; and the lowest night temperature 35'2 deg. These were also the highest and lowest in the week. Consequently the range of the thermometer on that day and in the week was 19.1 deg. The difference between the mean dew-pint temperature and air temperature was 3 4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, comp ete saturation being represented by 100.

There were dense fogs on the mornings of Tuesday and \Yednes• day. GENERAL TODLEBEN paid a visit on Saturday last to Naudin's studio, when a very successful, full length photograph of the General was taken. At a meeting of the commissioners, held yester' day, at Guildhall, Dr Letheby (the medical officer) submitted his quarterly report on the sanitary con dition of the City, which stated that, in the course of the summer quarter in Sept. last, there were 660 births and 663 deaths registered in the City. Both of these numbers were below the average for the corresponding period of the last ten years; the births having declined from the large proportion of 773 in the quarter, end the deaths from 667. 'The distribution of the 660 births was as follows :-278 in the eastern division of the City, 183 in the wes tern, and 199 in the central. There were i❑ the annual proportion of 27 per 1600 of the inhabitants of the first named district, 27 4 of the second, and only 17.1 per 1000 of the third ; the average for the whole City beirg 23,6. In all England the pro portion of births during the tutnmer quarter was about 33 per 1000 of the people. Of the 663 deaths in the quarter 268 occurred in the eastern district of the City, 166 in the western, and 229 in the cen tral. These numbers were in the annuli propor. Lion of 23 5 per 1000 of the Eastern Union, 24.4 of the Western, and 19 lot the City proper,making together an average of 23.1 per 1000 for the whole City. In the districts comprising the chief towns of England the average mortality for the summer quarter was 22.5 per 1,000, and in ail England it is 20. But everywhere duringthe last quarter the mortality had risen above the average, for in the districts of the chief towns it was 23 7 per 1,000 of the popu lation, and in the country generally it was 21.4; although, therefore, the mortality in some of the City districts had manifestly been excessive, yet the total mortality for the whole City had not been so great as that of our large towns, and in some parts of the City the death-rate had not been much greater ihan that of the small towns and rural districts of England. 309, or about 43 per cent, of all the deaths were among children of less than 5 years of age, and 132 were among persons of 60 and upwards. The mortality of children had been a little above the I average,which is about 42 per cent. of all the deaths, and this excess had been chiefly in the Eastern Union, where the infant mortality had reached to 58 per cent. of the deaths. The chief cause of this excessive mortality among children had been an un due prevalence of diarrLce I and measles; the num ber of deaths from the first-named disorder had risen from an average of 49 in the quarter to 65, and that of the latter from 17 to 41. In the corresponding quarter of last year there were but 33 deaths from infantile diarrhee i, and only 4 from measles. The proportion of deaths from other causes had been nearly as usual—phthisis,for example, had been fatal in 85 cases, tabes and scrofula in 45, hydrocephalus in 9, convulsions and teething in 38, pneumonia and bronchitis in 67, continued fever i❑ 28, scarlet, fever 22, whooping cough and croup 33, erysipelas 3, and the diarrf coa of adults 11—making together 139 deaths from tubercular diseases, 67 from inflam inatory affections of the lungs, and 206 from dis SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

A SAD END.—Oa Monday afternoon Dr Lankes ter held an inquest at the College Arms, Great College-street, Camden - town, on the body of Henry Nor miuton, or Norrin g t on, a b out 48 years of age, former l y o f the 4th Light Dragoons . It appeared that on Monday, the 14t .h inst., h e en t ered t h e coffeeshop of M r P earce , 99, Upp er Albany-street, and had some refreshments in the inner room. Atter being there some time he appeared very ill, and had some tea, when suddenly he fell off the sofa, and when medical aid was procared he was pronounced dead. The only article to lead to his identity was his discharge, dated "York, September 28, 1861, showing that ho had served 24 years and 178 days, and that he was 24 when he had enlisted in the 4th Light Dragoons, He wore the Indian medal with two clasps, bearing the names of " Chi lianwallah" and " Gujerat," and with his name, "Henry Norminton," round the rim. In his discharge, however, he was called " Henry Norrington," but there was no one to own or identify him. Mr I. N. Jakins, of Oauaburgh street, surgeon, had examined the body and said ho found great consumption of the lungs, and a large clot of blood on the side of the heart, which had no doubt caused death. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from nat ar4l c4u*eat's
